Question

Which of the three states—solid, liquid, gas, can be easily compressed ?

Answer 1

The state of matter that can be easily compressed is :

• Gaseous state:- The particles of matter in the gaseous state stay far away from each other, i.e. the inter-particle spaces in the gaseous state are maximum, as well as the force of attraction between the particles, is least.
• So, particles are free to move therefore they can be easily compressed.
